Beautiful House-Van den Heuvel residence in Leidsche Rijn, The Netherlands

This house inspired by the urban areas during the Roman Empire. Van Rooijen Architects make this house a very classic, the design is referred to Van den Heuvel residence. The facade of the ground floor is materialized in ceder wood which continues as a garden fence to define the boundary between the public and private spaces. The main volume of the first floor is cladded in colourful natural slate and seems to float above is wooden base. The house is very introvert on the streetside and opens to the rear garden with large sliding doors. Into the closed front facade copper elements with small windows in between were added allowing daylight to enter into the staircase. Adjacent to the house a secondary building serves as a children’s playroom and storage. In contrast with the main building it is materialized in black brick with aluminium windows. The two volumes are connected with a glazed corridor.
